It, is pointed out that. the: word plastic as used in this specification. is: used in its broad sense: to mean material which; can be molded, and to includequitea large group off materials such; asphenol; condensationv products; synthetic resins, plastic woods, and: plasters of vari- QUSJWDESLEtQS i Thenewchati pin; inaccordance with the form of thexinvention illustrated; in; Figs. 1 to 300mprises ahat pin shank, having. a. back end. 2| and a pointed. frontwend 22-, with a head 23 mounted on the said back end 2|. Thehead 23 comprises a-wsmalli piece ofrigid sheet material 24? mounted upon the':- said; blunt end. 2| withwa suitable holding element; ormeans, suchas. a

staple 215; and; plastic material 26 covering said holding means": and. the; rigid1 sheet .material 24 and suitably" ornamented. The rigid: sheet material 2f4may be of any shape. These-pieces can be, made in large: quantities very inexpensively with: rotating dies, generally used to. stamp out smallcardboard,,anclthe lilrelpieces. The staple 'zfiimay' be applied to connectthe rigidl sheetmaterial 2 to the pin, shank 2'0 with a conventional staple applying; an stapling machine. It will be found that. the machines generally used for. stapling are capable: ofi securely connecting the rigid sheet material 24 with the pin shank 20 so that they cannot be easily drawn apart.

The plastic material 26 may be applied with a blow gun, orby dipping. It may be plaster of Paris or other material useful for filling and covering, a staple or clip 25, and the blunt end 2i stuck into the edge of the material 35.

pin shank having a closes a hat pin which has a hat pin shank 2B having a back end 2| anda pointed front end 22. A shell 28" is mounted upon the said back end 2| of the pin shank. This shel1'28" is formed from a pair of shell sections 29" and 3B" which are set one into the other. These shell sections have face walls and skirt walls. engaged one into the other. the pin shank 20 is bent into circular form so as to extend along the inner skirt wall portion of the inner shell of the shell sections. The shell 28 15 shown to be round. The bend end 2| is similarly formed and serves to firmly support the back end 2| of the said pin shank 2B. skirt walls of the shell sections are formed with openings 3| through which the pin shank extends. I

In Figs- 6 and 7 still another form of the invention is disclosed in which the hat pin com-prises a small piece of rigid material such as cardboard, wood, a plastic or the like, and a pin shank 36. This pin shank has a pointed back end 31 which is I Th pin shank 35 also has a pointed front e'nd585' Surface ornamentation 39 is applied to the exterior of the material 35 and may comprise flock, lacquer or the like.

The hat pin, in accordance with the form of the invention shown in Figs. 8 and 9, includes a hat back blunt-end 2| anda front pointed end. 22. This shank'is constructed of steel in the usual way. A head 23 of plastic material is mounted on the blunt end 2|. To facilitate the permanent connection of these parts, the blunt end'2l is formed with a small groove intowhich the plastic material of the head 23' engaged during the time that the plastic head was molded on the blunt end of the shank. The blunt end 2| is also knurled. The head 23 is shown of flat design and of a trapezoidal shape. The plastic material may be suitably colored and if desired, surface ornamentation also added. 1

In Fig. 10 another embodiment of the same invention is disclosed in which the head 23a is flat and of circular shape. In other respects this form of the invention is identical to the previous form and likeparts are indicated by like reference numerals.

In Figs. 11 and vention has been 12 still'anoth er form of the indisclosed which is very similar to the'form shown in' Figs 8 and 9, distinguishing merely in the fact that the shank 20b is removably connected with the head 2%. This is accomplished by providing the head 23b with a shell :55 which is embedded therein. The shell has a closed inner end 45 and an open outer end. It is also provided with a plurality'of side openings 4'! into which the plastic material of the head is engaged for permanently mounting the shell therein. A tube 48 is fixedly mounted in the shell 45. It is held in position by an inturned edge portion 49 formed on the outer end of the shell .45.

The shell is set into one side of the head 23b.

The skirt walls are inter- The back end-2| of The tube 48 is provided with several inwardly bent perforated portions forming resilient sec tions. These resilient sections are adapted to engage and grip the groove 45 formed on th blunt .end 2 lb of the shank 20b. The blunt end of the shank is also formed with a small end bevel 5| to facilitate its engagement into the tube 48. The shank 2% may be engaged into the tube 48 and will then be heldby the resilient sections 50, and when desired, it may be pulled out.

- In the form of the invention illustrated in Figs.

13 and 14 the hat pin includes a hat pin shank 20 having a back end 2| and a pointed front end 22. 3 A head 23". is mounted on the back end 2|. This 15 head includes a small piece of cardboard 24 mounted on the said back end 2| with a suitable holding element, such as the staple 25. A ribbon 1 how 52 covers the cardboard 24, the staple 25 At one point the):

and said'back end 2| of the pin shank 2|]. The bow 52 is formed from a strip of ribbon 53 which is zigzagged back and forth to form'the'wings of the bow, and a the center of .the wings.

band54 which is mounted around This band 54 is made from a strip and is mounted in'place whileitis still open. It is first engaged on the pin shank 20.

Then'the cardboard 24 is placed between thelay ers of the ribbon 53. The band 54 is then engaged around the central portion of the wings of the ribbon, and then is secured in position with stitches 55.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of myinvention, it istobe understood that'I' do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to 'all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. I

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is: i

' l. A hat'pin, comprising a hat pin shank having a pointed front end and a straight central portion and a coiled back end, a'shell section having a flat front wall extending across one face of said coiled.

back end and having a skirt wall extending around the edge of said coiled backend and said skirt wall having an opening through which said straight central portion extends, and'another' shell section having a fiat back wall extending across the other face of said coiled back end and also having a skirt wall mounted on said first named skirt wall and said. second named skirt wall having an opening through which said straight central portion extends.

. 2. A hat 'pin, comprisinga shell having a skirt wall portion having anopening atone point,.a hat pin shank having a pointed front end'and'a backend extending through'said opening into said'shell, and means within said shell and connected with said back end of said pin shank and engaging the inner faces of said shell for supporting said pin shank, said shellincluding a pair of shell sections having face Walls and skirt walls, said skirt walls engaging one-into the other and forming said skirt wall portion. a
